PROJECT DESCRIPTION: In January 2014 the applicant requested Master Site Plan Review, Site Plan
Review, Environmental Review, an Exception through Modification, and a Variance in order to construct a 125 guest
room hotel and structured parking area. The project has been revised and the applicant is now requesting Master Site
Plan Review, Site Plan Review, Environmental Review, a Front Yard Setback Variance, a Critical Area Variance, and a
Parking Modification in order to construct a 105 guest room hotel and structured parking area. The subject property is

project site totals 55,000 square feet in area and is located within the Urban Center North - 2 (UC-N2) zone and Design
District 'C'. The proposed hotel would be approximately 5 stories in height. A total of 105 parking stalls would be
primarily provided in a two-level below grade parking garage with two stalls provided at grade. Access is proposed via
Lake Washington Blvd N. The site contains critical and sensitive slopes. Additionally, the site is located in an erosion
hazard area and a moderate landslide hazard area. There is no construction proposed within critical areas. The applicant
is requesting a variance from RMC 4-2-120C to increase the maximum front yard setback from 5 to no more than 23
feet. Another variance from RMC 4-3-100 is being requested in order to develop within portions of a protected slope
(approx. 4,185 SF). Lastly, the applicant is requesting a modification from RMC 4-4-080 in order to reduce the number of
required parking stalls from 115 to 105 stalls.
